Iron is a mineral that the body needs for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, and myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones.

The amount of iron you need each day depends on your age, your sex, and whether you consume a mostly plant-based diet. Average daily recommended amounts are listed below in milligrams (mg). Vegetarians who do not eat meat, poultry, or seafood need almost twice as much iron as listed in the table because the body doesn’t absorb nonheme iron in plant foods as well as heme iron in animal foods.

Which term matches this definition? Treating all human blood and other potentially infectious material, as if known to be infect

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C, Universal Precautions.

Explanation:

Treating all human blood and other potentially infectious material, as if known to be infectious, for bloodborne pathogens is called as Universal Precautions.

Now here it is important to know what bloodborne pathogens are. These are actually the tiny organisms, called as micro organisms, which cause illness or diseases in the human body. These are infectious microorganisms. The diseases caused by these infectious microorganisms may include Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. This type of disease may transfer from one human to another by the exposure of blood through sharp needle like structures or injections, etc.

So all blood must be treated before donating or transferring to other humans and this is called the Universal Precautions.
